Templates are used to define the look and feel of a course. A template determines the layout of the content and interactions between a learner and a course. When you create a new course, it is obligatory to choose a template. This template can be changed any time by clicking the icon on the left side of the course title.

To choose the template that fits your course best, select the template and preview the course. There are four templates that can be used to present the course:

The Simple course template allows you to create a course that is divided into several parts (sections). Each section can contain both content items and questions.

When a learner launches the course, at first the introduction page is shown, if the introduction content is added to the course. From the introduction page a learner can start the course.

If the Simple course template is applied to the course, a learner can see the list of available sections. You can start the section to see the related content and questions. On the sections overview page at the top right corner you can view the progress summary that shows the overall progress of the course. Under each section you can see progress per learning objective. You can also see whether the mastery score, set on the Configure step of the course editor, is reached per section. On the sections progress lines the mastery score is indicated with a marker.

You can now turn on tracking and scoring of views for content pages in the simple course on the Configure step.

Each question and conten page are shown separately. You can view the content pages and answer the questions in any order. Use navigation buttons (previous and next) to navigate between the course pages. When a learner answers the question, they will be informed whether their reply is correct or incorrect. The last submitted answer will be saved. If the question is answered incorrectly, a learner can try it again.

The Simple course template provides the possibility to customize the look and feel of your course. On the Design step of the course editor you can edit themes, branding and layout.

The Simple course template has five themes:

Default

Black

Cartoon

Grey

Flat

You can preview each theme and choose the one you like best or create your own one.

If you open the Branding tab, you can change your course logo, backgrounds and interface colors.

You can also choose the way you want the sections to be displayed. Go to the Layout tab and choose between Tiles and List.

If you want to provide users with learning content and no questions, the Reader is the right template to use. It allows you to present content in sections with simple navigation.

Questions are not displayed in the Reader template. If you apply the Reader template to the course, only the content pages and learning content of the questions are shown.

When a learner launches a course, at first, the introduction page is shown, if the introduction content is added to the course. From the introduction page a learner can start the course.

All sectionsare presented as theory blocks.

When a learner clicks on the section, the list of articles assigned to this section appears. A learner can navigate through the section and read the articles using the navigation buttons and the table of contents on the left.

On the Design step of the course editor you can edit branding by customizing course logo, choosing color scheme and changing background.

Results tracking is not available if the Reader template is applied to a course. This template is used only to present learning content, but not to check learner’s knowledge.

Test (Assessment) Template is perfect for the assessment in the form of a quiz or an exam. If this template is applied to a course, a learner will see all questions (or a selection of questions) in a long list.

Note: Feedback for correct/incorrect answers is not shown in Test/Assessment template. If you choose Quiz mode on the Configure step, learners will be able to see hints (information that you add to Content at the bottom of the question editor).

You can customize the assessment course on the Configure step in the course editor. Here you can choose between Quiz (a learner can see hints or learning content added to questions) and Exam (a learner can’t see hints) modes, and change such settings as randomizing the order of questions and answer options, showing all questions or a selection of questions, showing or resetting answer opions from the previous attempt, and setting time limits and number of attempts.

On the Design step your course logo and background can be customized.

When a learner launches a course, the introduction content is shown if it is added to the course. Then a learner can click on the Start Assessment button to launch the course or just scroll down to see the questions.

If the Exam mode is chosen on the Configure step, a learner will see the list of questions that are associated with all learning objectives/sections. No hints are available in the Exam mode.

The Quiz mode will provide an additional opportunity for learners to see hints. Under a question a learner can click on the Show hint button to see an explanation or learning content of a corresponding question. The Show hint button is available only if learning content is added to the question.

When all questions are answered, a learner should click on the Submit button at the bottom of the page. After that the overall progress of the course is shown to a learner.

On the course progress indicator you can also see whether the mastery score set on the Configure step of the course editor is reached. Here a learner can also see which questions are answered correctly and incorrectly.

If the Personalized learning template is applied to the course, a learner will see the list of all questions in the pre-assessment mode. Based on the results of the pre-assessment a study advice with the weak points of the learner will be presented. In order to make the most of this feature don’t use content items, but add content directly to questions.

NOTE: Question feedback (the info that you add as Question Response) is not shown immediately after a learner answers a question. You can add more info that will help a learner to answer a question correctly to Content instead of Question Response. After a learner submits the course, a list of all questions that he’s answered incorrectly will be presented with Recommended reading (additional info that you add to Content).

When a learner launches a course, the introduction page is shown first, if the introduction content is added to the course. From the introduction page a learner can start the course by clicking on the Start pre-assessment button.

Only when all the questions are answered a learner should click on the Submit button at the bottom of the page.

When the answers are submitted, the progress per learning objective is shown to a learner.

Under each learning objective/section Study Advice can be found. When you click Start in the Recommended reading area, you’ll see Study Advice. The list of questions per learning objective/section that are answered incorrectly is displayed there. A learner can open each question separately, read the learning content, and answer the question again. A learner has an unlimited number of attempts to answer the questions. Study Advice can help a learner to accomplish learning objectives and complete the course.

When you click Finishcourse the overall progress of the course and progress per learning objective are shown.

In addition, on the Design step of the course editor you can edit branding by customizing course logo and changing background.
